Stefan VII - 928-931 :
Stefan VII (Stefano VII) Stephan VII; Stephan VII blev pave i december 928 og skylder også sin udnævnelse til Marozia. Hun var en stærk og ledende kvinde i Roms politiske liv, og paven gjorde intet uden om hende. Han døde i februar 931.
Note: In some sources, this pope is called Stephen VIII and Pope Stephen VI is called Stephen VII. See Pope-elect Stephen for detailed explanations.
Stephen VII (Latin: Stephanus PP. VII, Italian: Stefano VII; died c. 15 March 931) was Pope from February 929 until around March 931. A candidate of the infamous Marozia, his Pontifikate occurred during the period known as the Saeculum obscurum.
Biography
Stephen was a Roman by birth, the son of Theodemundus, and perhaps a member of the Gabrielli family. He was elected-probably handpicked-by Marozia from the Tusculani family, as a stop-gap measure until her own son John was ready to assume the chair of Sankt Peter. Prior to his election, Stephen had been the cardinal-priest of St Anastasia in Rome.
Very little is known about Stephen’s Pontifikate. During his two years as pope, Stephen confirmed the privileges of a few religious houses in France and Italy. As a reward for helping free Stephen from the oppression of Hugh of Arles, Stephen granted Cante di Gabrielli the position of papal governor of Gubbio, and control over a number of key fortresses. Stephen was also noted for the severity with which he treated clergy who strayed in their morals. He was also, apparently, according to a hostile Greek source from the twelfth century, the first pope who went around clean shaved whilst pope.
Stephen died around 15 March 931, and was succeeded by Pope John XI.

Ordforklaring :
Pontifikat
Pontifikat:[ - ] Pontifikat, (af lat. pontificatus, afledt af pontifex), en paves regeringstid.
Pontifex, (lat., af pons 'vej, bro', gen. pontis, og -fex, af facere 'gøre'; af omstridt bet., måske 'den, der baner vej' eller 'den, der bygger bro'), i romersk religion navnet på et ledende medlem af pontifikalkollegiet, et præstekollegium bestående af rex sacrorum, de tre store flamines og tolv mindre flamines; pontifex maximus 'den største pontifex' havde som særligt embedsområde Vestakulten. Pontifikalkollegiet holdt til i Regia (egl. 'kongens hus') på Forum Romanum og havde bl.a. overopsyn med Roms statskult, lege (ludi), sakralret og varselstydning. Fra ca. 200 f.Kr. kendes tabulae pontificum 'pontifexernes tavler', en samling historiske annaler.
Fra og med Augustus blev ærestitlen pontifex maximus givet til den regerende kejser, og i løbet af 400-t. overtog paven den oprindelig hedenske titulatur, ofte forkortet pont.max. eller PM, nu i formen summus pontifex, hvis betydning tolkedes kristologisk som 'den, der slår bro mellem Jord og Himmel'.
